Leverage the power of Scala to build scalable and reliable web applications

This video course will be an exciting journey into the universe of the web development using the Scala programming language and frameworks. It is a starting point from which you'll learn the basics of building REST(ful) web services and APIs using the non-blocking and asynchronous programming models that lie in the heart of the Spray framework. You’ll start off by learning about the REST architecture. After that, you will switch gears to the Akka toolkit and Spray framework, building the sample book catalog application along the way.

Once you've learned about the REST architectural style and Actor Model, the foundations that the Spray framework is built upon, you’ll shape out your own REST(ful) web services by providing simple route definitions. Further on, we'll delve into authentication, authorization, secure transport, documentation, test cases, and caching support. Finally, you will learn how to develop the Spray client API.
